# WRNexusJS 0.6.0 R13 - UI reference release stability

## Problem

`release:private` regenerated the UI component catalog and reference before publishing. On Windows, the generator always wrote LF output. When the checked-out JSON files used CRLF, Git reported both generated JSON files as modified even though their normalized content was already current.

## Fix

- Added normalized newline comparison to `scripts/generate-ui-component-reference.mjs`.
- Generated files are no longer rewritten when their content differs only by line endings.
- Real generated-content differences are still written and remain visible to the release gate.
- Added `scripts/test-ui-reference-generation.mjs` to execute both the CRLF no-op case and the genuine stale-content repair case.
- Wired the executable regression into `scripts/validate-0.6.mjs`.

## Verified behavior

- Current CRLF catalog/reference files remain byte-for-byte unchanged.
- A stale reference count is regenerated to the correct value.
- Release verification still blocks real generated-content drift.
